Please keep Pastor Carl in your prayers. His new kidney is working wonderfully, however his immune system is suppressed by 80% and he cannot be around crowds of people. Lord willing, he and Alice will be back in service on the weekend of the 17th and 18th to speak the final message of the love series!
